Emilie Autumn?

I'll try and disregard the fact that you clearly know absolutely nothing about the technical aspects of music. That was made blatantly obvious when you said Emilie had a better range than Mariah, etc. Do you even know what an octave is? And don't answer that after you look it up on Wikipedia. Just know that Mariah can sing in about four more of them than Emilie.

I listened to Emilie's music. I previewed her entire Opheliac album on iTunes and watched multiple live performances on Youtube, but just didn't see what's great or even original about her. To me she sounds like every other Hot Topic, Nightwish-wannabe out there. You have to accept that not everyone is going to love her, and that they aren't close-minded simply because they don't enjoy her music or see her talent.

Btw...

Björk, to name one of many.

First of all I didn't say she had a better range than Mariah, I just said she uses her range better... she doesn't have to start wailing in the middle of the song to prove that she can sing in a higher register.... so I'll disregard everything in that paragraph

Secondly..... well you're just..... wrong... to put it simply
You are trying to tell me that a woman who can play at least 6 different instruments amazingly well, who can composes entirely original songs and who writes every single songs she brings out isn't talented?

There is something wrong with that statement!

I don't care that you don't love her.... it's not the fact that you don't love her that's annoying me... it's the fact that you are completely disregarding the fact that she's talented.... and yes it is a fact.

I also said if you were open-minded to her music. I can tell that you've gone into her music with a negative mind and from that you aren't going to like it.

And yes, okay, Björk is great.... I know this, I've like her since I was 4 years old.

And where the hell did you get Nightwish from.... now they really don't sound anything alike...... seriously..... what.... the ..... hell

I think you are just about the only person I've met who can seriously sit there and tell me that Emilie isn't talented.


And you're still wrong.....

Talent isn't a fact, hun. And you might wanna reread my posts before saying I ever said she didn't have talent. I said I don't think she has a good voice and that I don't like her music. Not once did I say that I personally think she has no talent.

And I'm wrong because I disagree with you? Why do so many people on this board live by that standard?

The fact that you didn't ONCE mention that she had any talent and focussed only on what you didn't like kind of made it seem as though you didn't think she had any talent.


I still don't believe you can truly understand the beauty of what she is singing and how she is singing it until you have seen it for yourself, live on stage... just Emilie and her Bloody Crumpets.

Indeed it is similar.

Also regarding Emilie's singing...

Live it seems her voice is lackluster and flat (that doesn't fully describe it but I can't think of any other words right now). Granted, for some music that works but for her I'd have to say it doesn't.

Excluding her vocals her music it reminds me of Switchblade Symphony and Rasputina.

Though she does seem to be a creative person.

Through Lives can bring a whole different side to the artists because of costumes, interaction with the audiance and so on. Some are even known for thier live shows.

It makes me wonder what her live shows are like...

Lackluster and flat? Uhhhh......no. After attending two live shows, I can tell you without any doubt that this is not the case. In fact her voice sounds just as good as - sometimes better - than it does on the studio versions of her songs. (And no this isn't just rantings of a fan, I'm usually very critical even of things I like)

The main reason for this will be the equipment her live performances are recorded with, i.e. fans' phones or cheap video cameras. Emilie doesn't have the luxury of expensive film crews for her shows, so the only live videos you're going to find anywhere will have been recorded by audience members. As a music fan yourself, I don't have to tell you just how much this can screw with the audio quality.

If you really want to pass judgement on her live singing ability, I'd wait until her first Live DVD comes out next year.

As a sidenote, you wonder what her live shows are like in general? I think you'll find they're something like this...

Very true.

I was thinking of trying to find a way to go to a live show of hers. If theres a live DVD next year I just may purchase that and go to a live show. It seems interesting...Thanks for posting a photo.

Are you just a CaseNumber troll account? Or maybe you're her friend and she just asked you to back her up
Either way, that doesn't change the fact that not eveyone in this world has to agree with you that this Emilie person has a good voice / talent.
Opinions vary from person to person, there's nothing you can do about it lol
